                        Monday, February 5, 2024

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
service of Philip Mike Broderick, a firefighter from Des Moines who 
lost his brave battle with liver cancer on January 14, 2024.
  Prior to spending nearly 16 years with the Des Moines Fire 
Department, Mike spent two decades serving our nation in the United 
States Army. He was a man who put service over himself for his entire 
life, and his commitment to ensuring safety for his community and his 
nation was unwavering. Those who knew him personally shared he was an 
incredible friend, a devout husband, a loving father, and someone who 
served his country and community with purpose and care. Mike Broderick 
leaves behind his wife Emily and daughters Grace, Ireland, Piper, and 
Campbell.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mike 
Broderick's commitment to our Nation and the entire Des Moines 
community. I join his family and those closest to him in mourning his 
loss. May his memory not be forgotten.
